    Never had to report a false positive before so sorry if I'm doing this wrong/posting the wrong info.
    Spybots reporting my desktop shortcut for PCGen(a program involved with various aspects of managing a pen and paper rpg like D&D) as part of the malware program fraud.pcguide. Other then Spybot telling me it's part of it, I haven't been able to find any of the other entries in my system involved with it(based on this topic: http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=371548)
    Just letting you guys know.

    Out of curiosity, did you download it from pcgen.sf.net and not some of the other locations that are scattered around the web? There are some websites that are re-packaging the program with spyware and other crap now. It's the price of being successful I guess.

    thank you for reporting this issue,
    it is indeed a false positive and will be corrected with the next detection update scheduled for Wednesday 2010-05-26.
